Did I just hear Tyson Fury say Wladimir was a kickboxer? That was Vitali.
The biblical proportions of stupidity displayed by this clown makes me cringe.
"What as a boxer are you going to do to get noticed , to make you different " said fury.
Well from a boxing fans point of view I would have to say , beat world class fighters impressively , show unique skills.
Or if you a glass jawed lummox , then just behave like you are retarded.
Fury also stated that "Champions get up off the canvas to win, Wlad hasn't done that"......but yeah, yeah he has, vs Sam Peter in their first fight he got up 3 times and was so controlling in that match he STILL won via UD.Quote:

So as fans we don't know if Fury is going to box or come out and try to brawl. I've got the feeling he'll try to brawl once he gets the chance and given that Fury pushes his punches and Wlad snaps his I'll have to say the end of this fight and I guess the end of Tyson Fury's career will be quick and devastating.....you might get up from a Pajkic knock down, you might get up from a Cunningham knockdown, and you might keep your feet when McDermott has you reeling but when the Steelhammer crashes on that chin it's going to be goodnight sweetheart!
Like Rigo?Quote:

Plenty of fans like to watch Rigo , and most consider him the premier fighter in his division.
Did he do that from his skill and boxing ability - yes.
Did he do it from being a cringe worthy buffoon - no.
He only got paid $350,000 for his last fight as a world champion...Quote:

Also Tyson Fury is a heavyweight and heavyweights get bigger money typically
Tyson is getting £2.5 million in his first title challenge.Quote:

Klitschko got 80% of £7 million v Pulev, which left Pulev with £1.4 million.
What did Jennings get?
Tyson sells.
No?Quote:

Anyone else know what Jennings got paid v Klitschko?
I'm not sure what your point is, apart from "Tyson sells". So Pulev got £1.4 Million? Do you have any idea what Bulgarian TV paid for the rights? Very little if anything, in case you didn't know over there, PPV and money in general is harder to come by than it is in the UK, they have other priorities, like putting food on the table. Sky have contributed considerably to Fury's purse.Quote:

If we're going to compare , why don't we compare with a country with relative affluence, like Russia for instance.
Now the Purse for Povetkin to fight Wlad was won with a bid of about £22 million. So does this mean "Povetkin sells?" Or is it about how deep one's pockets are?
Fury is going to need all the money he gets for Saturday night, because an interview I read the other day said he downsized house wise and has got rid of the Big Range Rover in return for a 15 year old Merc.
You may put this down to what happened with Haye and what that cost him and you may be right, but obviously it cost Haye also. I don't think he would deliberately put himself on the verge of Bankruptcy because he was scared of Fury.
I bet Pulev's £1.4 mill goes a lot further that Tyson's £2.5 mill. Camps in Belgium, paying all his family/entourage doesn't come cheap.
For the record, on the most important aspect i.e. In the ring, Pulev and Povetkin both beat Tyson, as does Wlad.
Are you a pro boxer ? If not your opinion isn't valid according to the pup.Quote:

The British media will up hype any heavyweight to a level that is annoying....look at Audley Harrison and David Price and all the other club fighters (for lack of a better word) the rest of the world has had to be subjected to just because the Brits get into a little bit of a nationalistic fervor from time to time.
Oh and it CERTAINLY happens in the United States as well....we've had LOADS of needlessly overhyped fighters from here.....but then again not every American cheers for them or travels to see them. Great fans the Brits, but Jesus, get some talent for once! Though Joshua looks like the goods for now.
So anyhow...........
Did the THUMBS ON MY BOXING GLOVES ARE TOO LONG crisis blow over??
Did the issue get resolved??
Fight still on??
Does anybody have any idea what time the fight starts please?
At a guess 10pmQuote:
